Continuous advances in processing speed, storage size, and networking have allowed for the development of applications, applications suites, and platforms of increasing complexity. Often such software components contain bugs or security flaws which must be corrected to ensure that the enterprise computing environment runs efficiently and securely. Patching of software occurs with increasing frequency and doing so often requires the user to stop their normal business activities to install a software patch or to allow someone else to install the patch on their client system. Often these patches require a reboot of the system which further impacts productivity. Compounding the issue, users often have the ability to delay the patch which can make enterprise networks vulnerable if critical updates are delayed. Additionally, the downloading and install of a patch or software update may require the client system to be connected to the enterprise network which is a problem for mobile devices which are not constantly connected. Many of these issues exist not only for new software installs as well as updates and patches.
